The Vertical’s Chris Mannix reported Thursday that Cousins continued to vent to Karl after the Cavaliers game and got into an argument with GM Vlade Divac. Mannix also reported the source of Cousins’s frustration was his belief that Karl didn’t defend him enough to referees against the Cavaliers.

Cousins expressed his thoughts about the suspension in cryptic Instagram photos Thursday that have since been deleted.

The All-Star center returned Sunday and had 31 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a 108–99 home loss against the Utah Jazz.
